How good is the processor?The Intel dual-core i3-6100 CPU has a base frequency of 3.7 GHz, which provides you with satisfying gaming, working and multi-tasking performance. It has support for Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology, which allows it to use resources more efficiently, so that each core can do more than one task at a time. If you are using applications that have been optimised for multi-threading, such as video editing, 3D rendering or anything that can be used to create, edit and encode graphically intensive files, you can see increases in overall and multi-tasking performance.

What makes this motherboard different?ASUS’s H110M-A motherboard is perfect for anyone that is looking to build a rig where little to no overclocking is going to be done. It supports up to 2133MHz rated DDR4 memory, allowing you to gain access to the benefits of the new memory class. The motherboard has been built with 5X Protection II – the finest components, an excellent circuit design and exacting standards to guarantee quality and long-term durability has been used, resulting in exceptional protection and stability for your build. One example of this is the exclusive circuit design, which has built-in voltage regulators that protect other components from damage caused by unexpected high level voltage surges. Additionally, since this is a micro ATX (M-ATX) motherboard, it can be used in builds with mini tower cases or larger.

How much memory is supplied?This bundle is equipped with a 4GB Corsair DDR4 memory stick (RAM module), which runs at 2133Mz. Utilising the 4GB of RAM, multiple programs can be run simultaneously – allowing for quick access to files that are temporarily stored. Since only one DIMM slot is used, you’ll have one other slot free for future upgrades.

The PSU says a minimum of 450w dependent on other components added. Can this function on a 300w PSU using onboard graphics?

Asked by: SB2K

You will need a minimum of 450w, and this would go up dependent on the other bits you have in your computer.

The description says you need to add a graphics card, but the specs say there is on-board graphics and their appear to be graphics connectors.
So is a graphics card needed?
If not, can one be used later to improve graphics performance?
Thx

Asked by: JPBD

a graphics card is not included, the on-board graphics are part of the Processor so one is not necessarily needed unless you want to play games or watch high definition video at a high resolution and at a high frame rate.
A graphics card can be added to the system with the PCI-E connectors.

This only comes with 4GB RAM. You would be able to add on another 4GB by purchasing a matching RAM stick
